DynamoDB Table

The Table resource lets you create and manage Amazon DynamoDB tables for NoSQL database storage.

Minimal Example

Create a basic table with just a partition key:

ts
import { Table } from "alchemy/aws";

const table = await Table("users", {
  tableName: "users",
  partitionKey: {
    name: "userId", 
    type: "S"
  }
});

Table with Sort Key

Add a sort key for time-series or hierarchical data:

ts
const eventsTable = await Table("events", {
  tableName: "events",
  partitionKey: {
    name: "deviceId",
    type: "S"
  },
  sortKey: {
    name: "timestamp",
    type: "N"
  }
});

Provisioned Capacity

Configure provisioned read/write capacity for predictable workloads:

ts
const highThroughputTable = await Table("orders", {
  tableName: "orders", 
  partitionKey: {
    name: "orderId",
    type: "S"
  },
  billingMode: "PROVISIONED",
  readCapacity: 100,
  writeCapacity: 50,
  tags: {
    Environment: "production"
  }
});
